I clicked through hoping you were wrong, saw the first page, and thought, ah, this is legible... then I got to the code blocks and was completely blinded. I'm not sure what to tell authors of such pages...

On these sites the idea is that answers belong in the top-level answer posts where they can be voted up and down for the purpose of sorting the competing ideas and forms of responses to the primary question post. Criticisms should remain in

I agree we should probably say "licenses" and not "medallions" when talking about policies all over the world, it's just that medallions are known as the worst example of corruption and regulatory capture, protectin

I homeschooled in 8th grade and I loved it. - No commute to middle school, which returned me an hour of my day right there. - No bullying from the soon-to-be dropouts. - No gross school lunches or having to tote around a smelly lunchbag&#x2

I'm using i3, specifically i3-gaps and I'm rather interested in switching. I don't have nvidia. Where can I learn more?

Sounds like a way for them to pretend to be cautious and safe, relative to the west. How seriously do they take these "limits"?

I recall stories of Google arbitrarily declaring users persona non grata, ruining the user's business and even their life, with no recourse. Is this another such risk vector?
